i tried to be the mad man in the scene as written for me
i did my best to fail at this life as life became misery
your sacraments are tarnished by my lips
dismember me as minds are set free once bodies are broken
come and gather the shards of our tongues
i can see the future through the barrel of a gun
let me smell the roses of their promises all gone
i need the violence deep inside of me to find a purpose
i dream of the waves that will come and end what we've started
i am the witness running from your laws of common physics
all the children saw us as we danced upon their graves
come and gather the shards of our tongues
i can see the future through the barrel of a gun
let me smell the roses of their promises all gone
the blood on their cheeks evaporated
the stencil maker made his rounds
over a town built like a labyrinth
everybody is bound to find cheese
and if they dare to look up and meet our gaze
i tried to be the mad man in the scene as written for me
i did my best to fail at this life as life became misery
i can see the future through the barrel of a gun
let me smell the roses of their promises all gone
